[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6089858, member: 57383"] Well there are plenty of D&D phenomena where if there are multiple incidents of the same effect only the strongest is applied - one example being a cleric's ability to turn or rebuke undead. I'd just rather this Positive Energy Aura be one of them. Since I think there's enough room for interpretation in the rules for it to go either way, I prefer a nonstacking version to a stacking one. From my understanding of the 3E rules, the default is that abilities not to stack. So, unless the rules specify otherwise, I'd keep multiple Vivacious Creatures auras at only fast healing 1. I did a quick Google search and couldn't find a WoC FAQ on the issue. The best answer I found was this [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?219584-Multiple-Fast-Healing-abilities-from-different-source"][B]Multiple Fast Healing abilities from different source[/B][/URL] thread on Enworld, which boils down to "there is no official ruling, but stated 3E design principles suggest they do not stack". I'd be OK having a creature on the positive energy plane getting fast healing 6 for being within range of a vivacious creature, although I think it'd be more likely to get fast healing 5 since the two instances of fast healing are essentially from the same source. What doesn't appeal to me is for them to get fast healing 25 for being within 20 vivacious creatures. Anyhow, I fear we may be losing track of the OP: My stance on the question is still something like: [INDENT]There doesn't appear to be an official answer to this question. The healing from Positive Energy Aura works like fast healing. Some sources of fast healing do not stack, but others do stack (e.g. the Fast Healing feat stacks with itself, but not with other sources). I'd suggest the DM decide whether it stacks or not depending on what they think would be best for their game. My preference is that it doesn't stack, under the general principal that abilities do not stack unless they explicitly says so.[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
